2025 Masaza Cup | Semifinals | Second Leg
- Kyaggwe 0-1 Buweekula (Agg 2-2: Buweekula won 4-3 on penalties)
- Ssingo 0-0 Bugerere (Agg 2-1)
The stage is set for an electrifying climax to the 2025 Buganda Masaza Cup, as Buweekula and Ssingo booked their places in the grand finale slated for November 1 at Hamz Stadium.
The finalists were confirmed after a dramatic weekend of semi-final return legs in Mityana and Mukono, where both sides battled through tense encounters to secure their spots in the prestigious final.
In Mityana, Ssingo did just enough to advance, holding Bugerere to a goalless draw and progressing 2–1 on aggregate, thanks to their first-leg win in Kayunga.
The 2018 champions’ fans erupted in joy at the final whistle as Ssingo sealed a long-awaited return to the Masaza Cup final.
Meanwhile in Mukono, the second semi-final unfolded in heavy rain on a slippery Bishops SS pitch.
Buweekula, led by coach Felix Kawooya Ssekabuuza, edged hosts Kyaggwe 1–0 through Colline Ssemanda’s strike just two minutes into the second half.
The result tied the aggregate at 2–2 and forced a tense penalty shootout.
Buweekula held their nerve from the spot to win 4–3, with successful kicks from Alfred Ssebunya, captain Calvin Pariyo Ogubezo, Feni Eriyeza, and Collins Ssemanda.
Misses from Calvin Peter Emayo and Julius Kalule proved costly for Kyaggwe, ending their dream run.
Buweekula’s celebrations spoke of resilience and redemption as they now turn their focus to Ssingo in what promises to be a fiery final.
Before the main event, Kyaggwe and Bugerere will face off for third place in the early kickoff, also on November 1 at Hamz Stadium.
First held in 2004, the Buganda Masaza Cup remains one of the kingdom’s most beloved football traditions, open to players from all tribes and nationalities except those in the Uganda Premier League, FUFA Big League or the senior national team.
Gomba remain record champions with five titles, but all eyes now turn to Nakivubo, where either Buweekula or Ssingo will write a new chapter in Buganda’s rich football history.
